More Tips on Healthy Eating

We all know that tobacco, alcohol and drugs are bad for our health, but when it comes to food, a lot of us are clueless. Why not learn more about food - what is good and bad and how to make the best choice?

Here are a few more tips from me:
(with many more to follow in the days to come)

Eat grilled instead of fried.
Avoid white bread/tortillas, opt for whole grain/whole wheat/corn instead.
Watch the dressings on salads or sauces/aioli on sandwiches/burgers
Eat burgers and sandwiches without cheese
Avoid the dips, use mustard or ketchup
Avoid sodas, sweetened juices and shakes
Avoid high fat meats and cheeses on pizzas
At salad bars - all greens are good, but watch out for the toppings: ham, bacon, croutons, cheese and the dressings
Avoid the desserts. If you must have something sweet go for yogurt.

Last but not the least : AVOID DRIVE-THRU'S. You want to sit down and enjoy your meal, not eat while driving, texting or talking or it might be your last meal.
